Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Hey all, not sure if sharing original song recordings is a big activity on this forum, but here goes, for you high speed internet types. I finished my latest EP, now available online. My Ric 330 is used quite prominently on songs 3, 4, and 5. This is some moody music, I just can't help it Like it or not, this is me. Not bad for a drummer, eh?

well, if you wont I will ......



I REALLY like "The Other Side" !!!!!

great recordings.... where/how were they done... studio?

Hey Steve,I like the songs alot.The 330 really frames the tunes perfectly.

Hey guys, thanks for the kind words. As per the EP title, they were all done in my living room. I have an Akai DPS16, which is a 16-track hard drive recorder and mixer. They don't make them anymore. Most of the effects and EQ were done with my own boxes. I recorded the drums with four mic's, and most of the rhythm guitar tracks were doubled. The mixes were done listening through a pair of KRK powered speakers. I have an AKG C3000 condensor mic for vocals.

Mitch, notice that I don't even need to say which guitar parts were the 330 ... it's plain as day, isn't it? I love the way that guitar records, it is a very full and pretty rhythm guitar sound.

"The Other Side" is about a friend who disappeared. I know it has an R.E.M. feel, I do not hide my influences. I already started the next project, I need to get my new 360-12VP in there, and I am resurrecting an old song which is just screaming for a Rickenbacker. The next CD will be even more Ric-based ... gee, I think I found my sound

Steve I checked out a few songs this morning and I liked what I heard, good job!
Very impressive quality too.

Thanks, my man. The next one will be better !! It's a lifetime commitment, I say ...
